MR. BREAD'S PRO MMA SOUTHEAST REGIONAL RANKINGS

2011-05-31T20:51:00.000-07:00

Well as I promised here are the first edition of my Pro rankings for the Southeastern United States. Again, these rankings are based upon my personal viewings and knowledge combined with the opinions and suggestions of some of my personal contacts in the sport. I have been as fair as I possibly can and I think that for the most part these rankings do have a sort of legitimacy to them. PLEASE FEEL FREE to message me on Facebook and give me info on talent in the South east, so that I can look them up and research. Even if they are a new pro let me put them on the radar. The more input I receive on these rankings will determine if I continue....Oh...don;t send me no bullshit, because I will call you on it. If your fighter is 7-0 versus Timmy The Turd please save him the embarrassment. Also, remember that I am not using UFC signed vets from the region;therefore, Forest Griffin, Spencer fisher etc are not in the rankings. I did use Derek Brunson even though he is signed to Strikeforce Challenger series as he hasn't competed officially for them.

Tourney Time in North Carolina

2011-02-21T08:17:00.000-08:00

Awesome weekend !!!!! Went to Jawbreakers two Friday's ago for the 185 tournament finals for $10,000! My main man Adam "Ad-Bad " Dehart showed why he has been ranked as the number one amateur in the state of NC for the last two years as he decimated a game Darrin Billock in front of Billock's hometown crowd. The match ended early in the 2nd round when Dehart mounted the newly ranked purple belt and proceeded to do what has made him popular amongst NC fans...He pounded him unmercifully. Billock put up little resistance and the ref stopped the fight. After a ridiculous night of partying it down that night to celebrate the victory we soldiered up and got up early the next morning for a long trip to Pennsylvania. There we watched fellow Team Renegade assassin "The Colossus" Zach Klouse do work in his second pro fight. Zach put together some strong boxing and wrestling to pound out a unanimous decision over Pennsylvania's own Terrill Leech. Zach improves to 2-0 pro. Team Renegade has alot to be proud having both of these young gladiators this past weekend. Renegade for life!!!

How about this tournament that Fight Lab is putting together for this year. Close sources tell me this will not only crown a undisputed 155 champ for the Charlotte area, but will put a end to some rivalries that have been brewing for years. So far some of the best 155's in the state have stepped up and entered. Jordan Rinaldi, Keith Richardson, Jason Lineberger, Mark Corum, Dave Linder, Ronnie Rogers, Jason Kwast have all committed . Negotiations are in to sign Atlanta's Jerrid Burke. Unfortunately, negotiations have failed with the popular local fighter Joey "El Dingo Loco" Carroll. Sad...alot of fun match ups to watch if he was involved. I guess his saying that he would fight King Kong only applied if King Kong was actually in the building. Oh well..no empire states building in Charlotte..or gimme fights..ooh...ooooh....lol. Just kidding..sort of! More to come on this tourney. The format is going to be sick and different from what you are used to. More n this to come soon.

Heard Elite Fighting Championships will be doing a show at The Blake Hotel in Charlotte on March 19..or 20...something like that. They are doing the Hayastan tourney and then doing a mma show. Card looks good. The main event is a undercard fight from one of Fight Labs shows last year as Kevin Forant fights Chris Smith. Kevin brings the heat and Chris usually does despite a slow and boring performance on his last Fight Lab appearance. I wont see you there as i don't attend shows inside of Charlotte unless they are put on by The Pit Boss, but don't let that deter you from the show. Go show support for The Hayastan...watch a rematch from last year and tell Elite president Marcello Rodriguez that Tha Bread sent you. I will see all of you guys on April 16 in Charlotte for the first round of the tourney and to watch Mont Mcmullens and Josh Lening go to war!!!! Tha Bread is out!!

I'm BACK!!!!.....AND THIS TIME ......FOR GOOD!!

2011-01-31T09:21:00.000-08:00

Hey everybody! I'm back for good. That's right..Cornbread is bringing back Mr. Bread's Kitchen and this time I'm not leaving. i tried to stop blogging and give someone else a chance to step up and stir the pot, but lets face it. No one can stir the pot like "Tha BREAD' PLUS........It's my Kitchen! So before i jump head first into the feelings and hearts of all the mma fans again in NC, SC and Gawgia let's review the rules of my blog.

It's my blog, so no matter how many responses you post remember that i am always right!
if your feelings do get hurt and your ass is chapped due to my annoying opinions, please respond angrily and often. I get a kick out of it.
If you have any animosity towards "ANYONE" who subscribes to this blog, please let em have it here on the blog.
And last but not least......when in doubt refer back to RULE#1!!

OK , so now that we got all of the rules out of the way let's talk about my favorite subject...MMA. A lot of big things going on in the Southeastern mma scene now. NC is into it's third year of legalization and you can see the sport evolving. The competitors are becoming better..more teams and promotions are popping up and at the same time closing cause THEY SUCK and the ammys of yesteryear are making name for themselves out of state. Tennessee MMA has really stepped things up. Gene Click's Fit Factory Championships is one of the top amateur circuits in the US and Casey Oxendine and has really stepped up by even bringing a weekly mma show to the tri cities area. South Carolina has seen some nice things happen with Brett Moses and James Linic both bringing unbelievable mma action to the Greenville area and Sam King and company doing a steady job down in Columbia....oh yeah and who can forget the Juggernaut CFP. They have solidified them self as the big dawg in Myrtle Beach while maintaining their presence on the coast of North Carolina. Last the elder spokesman for the Southeastern scene....Gawgia has seen some ups and downs since we last blogged. Suffering the loss os Soco "The Boss's " Sportfight X from the state really put a damper on things; however, Dave Oblas' Wild Bills and Khunpon's bangkok boxing will remain in the upper part of the bull dawg state while Richard Cox continues to keep Southern Gawgia on lock. So with so many good things going on the future looks bright for the South east. Luckily I will have a front row seat to many of these fine fights and will be able to report back to you with the truth as only i see it!

Speaking of excellence, this past weekend in Charlotte was SICK!! The Grady Cole Center was home to two mega events for the Queen City of Charlotte, NC.......on the same day!! First, The Bud Cup Jiu Jitsu tourney was held in the morning. Some of the finest grapplers from across the country showed up in their spandex and bathrobes and took to the mat to show their grappling prowess. Jeff Monsoon even showed up and played around with some lucky competitors that drew numbers to get twisted up by the former ufc STAR. Also, fans were treated to a super fight between regional mma stars Roger Caroll and Tex Johnson. These two gladiators were the main event in a mma fight last year at Wild Bill's in Atlanta. This time around was a totally different scenario as Tex managed to gain revenge on his adversary by securing a arm bar in less than fifteen seconds. Impressive, but doesn't count on your record Tex and no $$$. As usual Gawgia.."TOO LITTLE TOO LATE". Lter in the evening Kenny Letts' Fight Lab brought their Misery Loves Company series back to the Grady Cole. All i can say is WOW!!! A+++ card. From the fights (DAMN...THEY SEEM TO HAVE A AWESOME MATCHMAKER) , to the production ( DAMN...HOTTEST RING GIRLS AND DANCERS IN THE BIZ), to the fans (DAMN..WAS THAT D'ANGELO WILLIAMS IN THE FRONT ROW?) to the music. Hell, even the one boring fight was awesome, cause the announcer started snoring during the bout into the mic. Wait, who was that announcer. Damn, he was a sexy beast! All joking aside it was a great weekend of mma and grappling action. Can't wait for their next show on March 25. Hey! Just for the heck f it let's recap some things i saw from this action packed weekend. Just some Cornbread stew for you guys and gals to think on!

The new Fight Lab Welterweight champion, Nick "The Vanilla Gorilla (4-1) is a stud. Gotta hand it to him. He did what i didn't think he could do. He won convincingly over Micah Lail. Congratulations to you Nick. On March 25 he will defend his title against KO artist Roy Hughes Jr....oh and by the way...I heard the linear Fight Lab Champion Welterweight Travis Ferell is coming back soon. Real soon and I heard he doesn't like Gorillas
Does anyone have any idea how a person that has been training for at least three years signs up for the beginner division at The Bud Cup?...... Just asking?
"Big Daddy" Brandon Beach successfully defended his Fight Lab Light heavyweight title Saturday. Winning by arm bar in the first round with only 30 seconds left. I hear that negotiations for him to make his pro debut are in the works for the March 25 show. Lets see.....hmm..Brandon Beach pro ..... Zach Klouse pro...hmm...nahh.......nevermind.
Damn Chris Sutton is tall!
Did i mention Brandon Beach may turn pro on March 25?.....nah...nevermind!
Jordan Rinaldi has a nice beard. Sort of looks like Jacob Allman with blond hair. Scary!!

Well this is it from the kitchen. I'm heading back to my reality and going to watch Adam "Ad-bad" Dehart get ready for his date with destiny on Feb 18 in Raleigh for the finals of the $10,000 tournament. I will leave you with this. Sign up for the blog, read the blog, and oh yes..BE OFFENDED!!

2010-03-22T20:20:00.001-07:00

This week Matt "The Silent " Assassin" Covan travels into hostile territory to do war with his old friend, Frank Milsap. No doubt the odds will be tough for Covan as he ventures into the enemy territory of Atlanta, Ga, where Milsap is a local legend. Matt and Milsap have a bit of a history as they were scheduled to fight for Kings Of Atlanta promotion back last August. Unfortunately, Milsap failed his medicals with high blood pressure. Ever since then Milsap has been fresh on the mind of Bread and Butter mgt's roster. The failed medical sparked a brief exchange of words between Milsap and Covan's stablemate, Joe Carroll, yet a matchup never did mature into reality. Now Matt Covan will get his wish and will face the man who he says took food out of his kids mouth. This should be an interesting matchup between the classic wrestler in Milsap and the aggressive striker in Covan.. According to Covan he feels great and ready, Recently he picked up a new sponsorship from Nearly Fatal Fightwear ( http://www.nearlyfatal.com/ ), a new mma apparel company that has been actively recruiting some top fighters from the south east. With Hdnet's Inside MMA in attendance and a sold out crowd at The World Congress Center, both Covan and his sponsor should pick up great exposure. Good luck Matt from the entire state and everybody at Bread and Butter Mgt.

Sick And Tired Of Being Sick And Tired

2010-03-06T05:59:00.001-08:00

Okay. I know I said that I was only going to blog every Sunday and I am going to keep my word. There will be a new blog post this Sunday, but I am frustrated right now.....and no...not sexually. I am sick and tired of these rumors floating around concerning the 'The Bread" and his merry assassins! So lets clear the air now.

YES!!.It has been confirmed...Kelvin Hunt is a terroist. I don't know how many more times I have to say this before people start believing it. Do not let his recent willingness to interview fighters from the Western part of the state overshadow the fact that this man has a personal collection of blow up dolls that come with Team Roc on the left butt cheek. He calls the dolls Georgeann and Bertha.
Yes!!!...Fight Lab Promotions is the #1 promotion in the state. I mean think about it. You never see Fight Lab trying to pull the wool over people's eyes...Putting drunks in the cage and trying to pass off the guy that barely beats the drunk off as the next "BIG" thing in mma...You never see Fight Lab putting guys from the "SAME" gym in a pro fight together...lmoa!!..Are you fucking kidding me? There should be a law against that shit...Oh....and you never ...NEVER.....I DO MEAN .....NEVER...See "The bread" working for anyone else other than Fight Lab!...That right there tells the whole story!
Yes!!!!....Joe Carroll would submit Chris Clodfelter blindfolded, with a apple in his mouth while whistling Koom Ba Ya through a straw in the apple!!
YES!!!!....Josh Lening is with out question the top heavyweight in NC....Don't believe the hype down in Raleigh...They aren't trying to see "The Future"!!
Yes!!!!....Roger Carroll is the reincarnation of Jason Vorhees!
Yes!...Rodney Wallace is my hero!
NO!!!!...Jacob Allman and Jeremy Holm are not turning pro any time soon.
NO!!!....I have not heard when CFP will have a contract for Preston Marks and Brandon Garner..That is up to Doug and Jeremy. Personally, I don't think it will happen. It's a shame because those are two of the top guys in the Southeast!!!
Who in the hell made the match ups for the show in Charlotte this weekend. Unbelievable!!!
And last but not least...Yes!!!!My opinion is the one that counts!!!

PEACE!!!

Greetings From The Bread

2010-02-28T08:40:00.000-08:00

Hello fight fans! Greetings from the bread. A lot to talk about...not much time though. We got a late checkout down here in Knoxville, TN, unfortunately we had a late celebration last night. So the late check out is being pushed to the max. Last night was a huge night for MMA in NC. Some huge wins and letdowns were in the works on a night that saw seven of Fight labs boys take to the cage to defend their region. Let's get started before they call the police to come get my ass out of this hotel room.

Roger Carroll defeated Atlanta's golden boy, Clint Hester in the first round by arm bar. This moves Roger's record up to an impressive 8-3 and 4-1 in his last five fights. Hester who is a former professional boxer and has the reputation for knocking people the f*&%k out was never able to pull the trigger. The Gracie Barra brown belt took the fight to the mat and did away with another one of Atlanta's finest. Great job Roger and message to UFC.......TAKE NOTICE!!! THE LEPRECHAUN IS FOR REAL!!
Jawbreakers promotions did their big event last night in Winston Salem and "The Bread" sent two of Charlotte's finest down to take on that region's tough guys. Kurtis Cloward showed the state that as I have said before we have the best 155 amateur fighters in the state..."BAR NONE"!!! Kurtis took on previously unbeaten Jeff Loken...My understanding is that it went something like this....Kurtis walks out, Jeff walks out, bell rings, touch gloves, rear naked choke....GAME OVER!!!!... OUCH!!....Also on that card. Mont "Night Train" Mcmullens took on Jawbreakers golden boy, Keith Bell. Mont lost by tko in the 2nd round. This was Mont's debut as a pro after a successful run as a amateur that saw him lose only twice. Better luck next time Night Train. Hmmm.....Maybe now we can resolve who the best heavyweight in the state is and see Mr. Bell take on "The Future" Josh Lening! I will have to talk to my good buddy Al Simmons down at Jawbreakers and see if we cant make that happen.
CFP put on another great show and I sent down two of my headhunters to that show also. Josh Lening showed why we think he is the top guy around at Hwt by dismantling previously unbeaten Clifton Bishop by KO in the 2nd round. Alan Greenway made his pro debut against also debuting Will Estes. What was reportedly a tough match ended prematurely due to a cut and forced Alan to walk out on the losing end in his pro debut. No sweat Alan, we will go to war again and hopefully we will get you a rematch.
On the amateur circuit, Adam Dehart lost for the second week in a row by submission to Marshall Manning from TN. As usual "Ad Bad" did massive amounts of damage to his opponent before getting caught in a submission. "The Pain Train" Jeremy Holm continued his unbeaten streak with a unanimous decision defense of his ACF HWT TITLE and added the ISKA HWT title to his collection of belts. I think that is 7 wins, o losses and four belts. WOW!!!

Alright guys. I gotta run. Alice the maid is banging on the door. I think she wants to give me some "big and juicy"...oops..am i allowed to say that? Oh well, who cares. That is it for now from 'The only opinion that counts". See you guys in a couple of days back here on the blog. PEACE!!

Holiday Roll Call

2009-12-26T09:36:00.000-08:00

Greetings from "the only opinion that counts"!! I hope everyone had a merry Christmas and will have a even better New Year. For your info, Mr. bread had a fantastic holiday. I was able to spend it with my family and girlfriend. That in itself was worth the holiday dollars and time spent wrapping presents and hanging ornaments. Now that the main holiday is over we can all prepare our selves for the big "drunken " night by getting back in the gym and pretending to be in top condition, kill ourselves, drink our minds into oblivion next Friday and then get serious with our mma business once again as there are several big things happening in January of 2010.

This post is supposed to be about the ongoing feud between NC mma and Georgia MMA and I will definitely hit on that in a second, but first I would like to thank a couple of people for a fantastic year of mma in the southeast.

North Carolina - Kenny Letts and Fight Lab Promotions, Marcello Rodriguez and Elite Fighting Cage Championships and Carolina Fight Promotions..These three promotions have really stepped to the forefront in the tar heel state.They always put on quality high production shows that are a pleasure to watch and a even bigger thrill to be a part of
South Carolina - Sam King. Anyone who knows anything about SC MMA knows that Sam is a very intricate part of the Palmetto States ventures into mma. Sam and his guys have been in the thick of things all up and down the southeastern state and now that it is legal in SC, we should see Sam and the dirty dozen from Columbia rise to the cream of the crop.
Tennessee - Casey Oxendine. Lane Collier and Doug Powell. These three gentleman have taken what was once considered a rogue state when it came to our sport and turned it into a ma machine. Most of the credit has to go to Mr. Oxendine. His influence over the past ten years has been instrumental in more than Tennessee and is appreciated all over. Lane has been a mainstay down in GAWGIA, but recently has left the 'DARK SIDE' to promote shows all over the Southeast, especially in Tennessee where he has put on top notch shows in Chattanooga and Johnson City. Dog Powell...the undisputed king of Knoxville. Doug's ACF is the big dog on the block in Knoxville. Putting on great fights at a more than affordable price in a family friendly environment is the M O for his newly formed league. So far he has been awesome and we look forward to 2010 with Doug.
Georgia - Brian Bowles, Dave Oblas. Brian Bowles is to the Southeast mma scene what Abe Lincoln is to Illinois. Obviously before his stunning ko of Miguel Torres other athletes from the southeast had made their way into the big time. Guys such as Forest Griffin, Spencer Fisher, Rory Singer, Brandon Gardner and Dave Mewborn, but Bowles' win over what some considered to be the best pound for pound fighter in the world was beyond huge. Good luck Brian in 2010 and we will all be cheering for you...Dave Oblas..what can I say. It's one thing to talk about how great you are and it is another thing to show it. Year after year after year Dave Oblas has shown that he and Amy Lynn are the true "KINGS OF ATLANTA" ("no offense to andy and Leo"). Promoter after promoter claim to have the recipe to overthrow the big dog on the block, but time and time again they fail. Word of advice to the other promoters. Take a hint. Get better looking business partners
Virginia - Rick Mccoy - If it's in Virginia and Rick don't know about it then it's not worth knowing.Rick trains and manages some of the best talent in the country and recently has been doing alot of matchmaking. Rick's my hero.

Well that is the roll call as I see it. If I forgot anyone , trust me it wasn't to be rude or to say your not important. I will be back later in the day and I promise I will get back into the juicy topics. Until then train hard and get ready for the great American drink off next Friday.

"Bread"

The Aftermath in GAWGIA!!!

2009-12-22T13:57:00.000-08:00

Wow!!!! What a snow ....and what a night down in the big A=T=L!!! Wild Bill's toys for tots fight night was a awesome event. Showcasing some top amateur fighters in the worst rules in the United States and three top pro matches that were interesting and drama filled to say the least. l To be honest with you I get sick when I see Georgia amateur mma. It's like watching The Terminator and Arnold wearing Pink thongs and using a water pistol. No doubt the talent is there, but the rules restrict a few good athletes from really showcasing their hearts and abilites; regardless, there was two young men that caught the attention of many.

Humza Mutaalio won via Tko in the third round against a game Donald Lipscomb. Humza was sporting his brand new No Quarter gear and his brand new Kikskin fight shorts. No Quarter was proud to get behind this fantastic athlete from GAWGIA!!! We look forward to supporting him in a promising career.
Another amateur who also was sponsored by No Quarter and seems to have a bright future was Charleston's Chris Mcnally. Chris was dominant over Mike Israel by way of guillotine in the 2nd round. Good luck Chris and I look forward to helping you out in the future.
PRO CARD
Joe Carroll vs Lance Dickson:
After some interesting entrances and alot of booing by the home crowd, "El Dingo Loco in classic fashion wins by arm bar. Then he proceeded to piss off the entire state of GAWGIA by promising to do the same to Frank Milsap on January 29. LOL!! That Damn El Dingo is something. The funny thing is that the odds say he is correct.Out of 12 wins in his short career, Carrol has finished all of them by arm bar or triangle in the first round. ALL OF GAWGIA Seems to laugh at Carroll, but trust me he is more than capable of ending a career.

John Buck vs Tex Johnson:
13 seconds.....13 seconds...13 seconds...13 seconds...13 seconds...OUCH!!! Talk about taking the wind out of my sails. 13 seconds is all it took for Johnson to dispatch Team Huskey's John Buck with his own move. 13 seconds!! Un fucking believable. That's all I can say! ...13 seconds!

MAIN EVENT
Roger Carroll vs Dave Mewborn
I said this would be fight of the year and I honestly believe that if it had went another round it would have. This was by far the best fight of the night, showcasing two of the top 185 pound fighters around. Plenty of striking, throwing and choking. The nod went to Mewborn at the end of the second via Darce choke. Absolutely great showing by both men.

In closing Wild Bills Toys For Tots was a success. Again, hats off to Dave Oblas and Amy Lynn for another great show. I personally cant wait for the next one on February 5. Word has it that Junie Browning will be headlining the event and that he will be facing off with an opponent with a winning percentage lower than the screen time Tito gets with Jenna. Regardless I can't wait to get there and antagonize the locals some more.
Tune back in Saturday as I will address the ongoing feud between NC mma and GAWGIA mma. Where it started ("my mouth"), who is involved, who's winning ("need you ask") and where it is going. Also, I will talk about the upcoming match ups on the January 29 Kings Of Atlanta and about the upcoming Fight Night For Kids January 28. Thanks for reading and Merry Christmas

wild bills' toys for tots

2009-12-16T12:41:00.000-08:00

Fight fans in the South east get ready to rumble. This Friday night in the big A-T-L, Undisputed Productions brings the top mma stars from the southern states and puts them together in the squared circle for one hell of a night of mma action for one hell of a cause. Wild Bills Toys for Tots comes around once more to help raise toys for the children of Atlanta. Talking to David Oblas, the “BIG” cheese of Undisputed Productions, it seems that this year’s card is one of the best ever and he looks forward to this being one of the top donations from the fans. Hats off to him and the beautiful Amy Lynn for going to great lengths to do this for kids that deserve our help…….Now that I got all the mushy mushy out of the way. Let’s get on with the good stuff. THE FIGHTS!!!!!
AMATEUR CARD -
****A whole bunch of fights, but hell…who cares….Most of the fighters have two fights total and in “GAWGIA”…they wear more padding than the fictitious MAXI PAD MAN….Okay you caught me..The Maxi Pad Man isn’t fictitious. He is a pro heavyweight fighter in GAWGIA and he has a really big set of …….uh….never mind!!
PRO CARD -
LANCE Dickson vs. Joe Carroll – Okay. This is where everybody down in GAWGIA is going to get upset and say that I am biased. Over time they will learn different but for this card and especially this fight, they will bitch and call for my head on a spit. So on with the truth as only I see it. Poor Lance is in a world of trouble and I do mean trouble. Besides the fact that he sported a convincingly pitiful amateur record of 2-3 in a state where even being the top amateur mma fighter is like being the smartest retard, he is also making his pro debut against a fighter who over the last year is 11-3 and that includes a 2-1 pro record against opponents who have a total combined “pro” record of 12-4. I’m not claiming to be a mathematical genius, but even up here in Western North Carolina the formula is simple……
Mr. Bread’s Pick: Joe Carroll + Lance Dickinson = Carroll! By arm bar 1st round!...”GAWGIA” will have to wait and see if Frank Milsap can shut up the biggest mouth in North Carolina
Aaron “Tex” Johnson vs. Johnny “Buck Nasty” Buck – This gets my vote for fight of the night and for good reasons. First, the war will continue between “GAWGIA’s” Sponsored Fan mgt and North Carolina’s Bread &Butter mgt. Right now the score stands at Bread &Butter-2, Sponsored Fan-0. Second, Buck “really” doesn’t like Tex Johnson….not that Buck likes anyone other than me, his mother and the creator of hooked on phonics ( got him through college) and last but definitely not least, both of these guys can bring it. I Haven’t been impressed by too many fighters in between North Carolina and Florida but I like this Tex Johnson character. He swings for the fences and seems to fight with a lot of passion. Unfortunately for Tex, the last person out of “GAWGIA” to win anything off of passion was Jimmy Carter and you saw how successful he was. Of course then again Buck seems to lose focus pretty easy, especially if people aren’t cooperative to go to the ground. I just have a feeling that ole Texy baby will try hard to save the sponsored fan name, but in the end they will have to wait to next time…..
Mr. Bread’s Pick: Johnny Buck vs. Aaron Johnson = Buck by Tko due to vicious elbows…
***side note: Jeff Chasner throws a fit and Mr. Bread is forced to place him in the Cobra clutch..new score…4-2…!! LOL!!
Dave Mewborn vs Roger Carroll – If John Buck vs. Aaron Johnson is fight of the night, then this fight will get “fight of the year” . The 185 pound studs have been coming out of the “Dawg” house to get their hands on Carroll, ever since Carroll stormed into “GAWGIA” with a TKO victory over “GAWGIA’s” 185lb king Tim Stout. Most of these paper warriors have proven to be more mouth than bite, usually pulling out of the contests with less than adequate excuses; however, this time around a serious competitor from a serious camp has emerged. Enter Dave Mewborn. An Ultimate fighter alumni and pupil of the famous Rory Singer. In my opinion ( which is the one that counts), Mewborn is the true 185 pound king of “GAWGIA” and poses a serious threat to Carroll or anyone he steps into the ring with. Boasting a great grappling game and long rangy arms that make him difficult to stand with, Mewborn looks to have an advantage over the North Carolinian brawler. Of course on paper, Stout was the advantage holder and if you had asked anyone in the room to bet against Stout you would have had more success finding a clean rap sheet on the University of Tennessee’s Football program. Carroll is a warrior who takes pleasure in getting hurt and even more in hurting his opponent with vicious elbows and sick Thai kicks. As I said before, this will be fight of the year and I wouldn’t want to pick a winner………………………unfortunately, this is my blog and my world… so here we go….
Mr. Bread’s Pick: Dave Mewborn vs Roger Carroll = Carroll by Submission….Mewborn wins the first two rounds and seems to have the third under control until Carroll hits him with the top of his Chuck Liddell Mohawk, temporarily blinding Mewborn. Carroll follows up with a flying knee and sinks in the standing guillotine. Lights out, Game over…NEXT!!

GAWGIA!!!

2009-12-03T14:21:00.000-08:00

Hello true blue "BREAD" fans!! The original blog is back and bigger and better than ever. We now have some new friends joining our ranks of followers. This blog will now be accessed by our good mma friends down in GAWGIA!!! That's right NC! You don't appreciate the Bread's good humor so I am sending it out to those rowdy, rowdy bulldog fans under us. I don't know exactly how it will fare or if they will find my charm charming, but oh well...you know how i feel about it!! Leave it ...or READ it!! Doesn't matter to me either way.
I guess your wondering why in the hell I would choose to have my Golden thoughts read by such a lower class of mma mongrels such as the state of GAWGIA and actually I was asking that myself. Then it occurred to me that while most of the fighters down there are inferior to the alpha males produced here in NC...there are actually some pretty cool promoters. sponsors ( such as BRAWL NUTRITION),and yes...there are a few tough fighters such as,,,umm...uhh....oh hell, never mind. We will come back to that later. Anyways, lately the NC boys have been going down to GAWGIA and doing their thing and I must say that despite the inability to walk in a straight line and chew bubble gum by their fighters. The shows are fucking great! So far I've been down to Wild Bills, Kings of Atlanta. All great shows with big personalites for promoters. They have this guy that looks like Richie Rich and they call him....get this shit...."SOCO THE BOSS"!!! You gotta love it!! See NC that is why they have thousands of people at their shows and the shows here have ten......Oh and you haven't heard the best part. They have a pimp ass commissioner. You should see this guy!! He reminds me of Kevin Costner and Fire Marshall Bill. I'm telling you! GAWGIA is where it is at.....................................................NOT!!!! I will tell you what they do have other than fighters that never make weight, show up to the weigh ins on time and have high blood pressure. They have the following:

December 18- Toys For Tots- Main event: John Buck (NC) vs Dave Mewborn(GAWGIA), CO main event- Roger Carroll (NC) vs Charlie Blanchard (FL)...This is the biggest event of the year. Tickets cost a toy..NC get your ass out there and support our fighters.

January 16- SOCO DE BOSS- Dudes and dudettes I have no idea who 'The Bread" is sending down to do war. Preliminary talks have Adam Dehart , Johnny Buck and my twelve year old son to fight Sonny South's rapper that leads him in to his impending doom.

January 29- Kings of Atlanta- Absolutely my favorite show period. Andy Stroud and Leo Cook are good friends of mine and this quickly becoming a top promotion. Right now I have Joe Carroll vs Frank Milsap provided that Frank's social security check comes in on time so he can have gas to make it to weigh ins on time and afford his blood pressure medicine......also, NC's top heavyweight Josh Lening takes on Bobby "The real TITTIES" Peavler. Man if you want to see some nice 'titties" you got to come watch this fight. Bobby Peavler has some bigguns. BIG AND JUICY!!!! ..last but not least, Roger Carrol vs a TBD opponent. This is suppossed to be the main event.

Well, this was a nice intro to get NC and GAWGIA acquainted. Hopefully, no one of importance will be offended and I will see everybody at the fights and they will all have big smiles on their faces to let me know that they have a sense of humor. If not...who cares. See you guys at the fights

Dream MMA Match Up: Kish vs. Nee, then Winner vs Yum

2009-06-01T05:04:00.000-07:00

Pit Boss here - Just read Corn Bread's request for dream match ups people would like to see. I gotta step in and put my request for a fight up on the blog - instead of in the comments section - it's my site, so I get to step in from time to time.

I want to see Justine Kish (RHEK under Jeff Jimmo) face Ashley Nee (Team COMA under Jason Outlaw). Both have been quoted as being striking machines with the ability to "walk through Jenny Yum." News flash, no one is walking through Jenny Yum. And despite being a very sweet looking and sweet talking person, she's a viscous attacker and the only one with cage experience in the group.

Now, I respect Coaches Jimmo and Outlaw, but I don't see anyone walking through Jenny. Not in this world, Corn Bread's world, or anywhere else.

PLEASE check the video on Jenny Yum. I don't have any video on Kish or Nee - there's not any MMA video on them as they are each 0-0 in MMA. Muay Thai experience and grappling experience for sure, but not all together in an MMA fight. Things are different with 2400 screaming people, lights and black chain link fencing separating you from your coach - don't even get me started on the difference with 8 oz gloves that are REALLY designed to protect the knuckles, not the face.

I have news, Jenny is 3-0 in MMA Cage Fighting. NO ONE is walking through Jenny in my opinion. Yum has one KO of the night and one Fight Of The Night. She's got a fan club that's well deserved and I'm trying to figure out how to sign up as a card carrying member.

In Pit Boss' world, Nee vs Kish and the winner gets a chance to face Yum for the women's at Fight Lab Promotions. That's my pre-fight pick for the next two Fights of The Night in the Misery Loves Company series.
